Comment: Started with triglycerides at 1300. Lopid dropped them to about 200. Now in combination with pravachol, I run about 150. I use generic Gemfribozil currently. I have had no side effects.

Comment: I have been taking this for 5 years. I am now sleepy all the time and am very weak. Constant head aches and stomach pain. Liver test are showing that it is right at excessive levels, but not over the limit. Loss of memory is increasing. Afraid of this medication.
